Question

Why do I have to replace the shaving heads after a while?

Answer

Every year, your blades travel the height of Mt. Everest... 49 times! After such a workout, even the best materials can lose their edge. Retain your razor's peak performance - replace the heads once every two years.

Philips shaving heads are made of the highest quality steel because they are in regular contact with your skin. However, also the best materials wear down because of regular use. Even if an immediate drop in performance is not noticeable, your shaving head will gradually become less sharp and precise. That is why we recommend that you replace your shaving head once every two years.

The ideal replacement frequency depends on your shaving frequency and the thickness of your facial hair.
